Chemotherapy is one of the treatment
methods increasingly used in cancer. In this article, we aimed to share our
simulation experiences within the scope of the elective course of Cancer
Nursing in the Nursing Internship (4th year) program in the process of teaching
safe chemotherapy administration methods. Simulation-based experience should be
designed to attain specified educational goals and expected results as best as
possible. Scenario implementation is based on the criteria of the International
Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning standards. A
biologically safe drug preparation cabin in the drug preparation room of a simulation
center was used, and a medium-fidelity mannequin-based simulator evaluating the
vital signs was utilized as the simulator during the simulation implementation.
In the patient history prepared within the scope of the scenario, the students
were expected to achieve goals. An analysis was performed by a trainer who
followed attentively the implementation during the scenario. In the analysis
stage, sessions including 8–10 students were held using the Promoting
Excellence and Reflective Learning in Simulation. A checklist was used to
evaluate the skill steps of the students objectively. It is thought that this
simulation scenario maintained in accordance with the standards of best
practice of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and
Learning would guide the readers. The simulation is considered to be an
effective method for safe medications, and it is recommended to plan different
scenarios according to the levels of students.
